Hybrid Breast Augmentation: How to Solve the Zero Size Problem

breast augmentation methods with surgery

According to statistics, 24% of women in the world are not satisfied with the size of their breasts and 16% are ready to enlarge it with the help of a plastic surgeon. Among them, almost 30% have zero breast size, which is considered a difficult case in plastic surgery. How realistic is this and what methods are used to enlarge zero size breasts?

In fact, the appearance of this method gave a chance to the realization of their dream of big breasts for those who before could not be helped. If the girl has her second or at least first breast size, she can stretch the skin and place an implant. For girls with zero breast size, many surgeons refused to perform the operation. Implant placement was impossible due to the unaesthetic result: the breast would look like a ball covered in skin.

What is hybrid correction?

At first, liposuction appeared, a method of removing excess adipose tissue from problem areas: thighs, abdomen, waist. In addition, doctors began to conduct experiments that showed that fat takes hold well and can be used as a donor material for various body shapes, in areas where additional volume is required.

This is how lipofilling appeared, which was the basis of the hybrid technique. During hybrid correction, with the help of fat previously removed by the patient, a conditional frame or "pillow" is created along the contour of the implant so that it does not feel separate to the touch. This avoids the noticeable tight ball effect. In other words, the implant is "surrounded" by soft fat and looks very natural. Once the edema subsides, when the actual result can be assessed, the breast looks natural and remains soft to the touch.

Typically lipofilling is performed by specialists right away, along with breast augmentation, in a single operation, which lasts about 2-3 hours. But there are also cases where the implant is installed directly for the first time, the reduction of edema and the appearance of the real contours of the new breast is expected. It takes about a month, after which you can safely fat-frame the chest.

You must understand that size zero is a completely flat chest, in which only the nipples stand out.

Advantage of hybrid correction

If it is still possible to solve the problem of the lack of skin (the skin is stretched), you still have to take into account that the skin will stretch to exactly the size of the implant. And the implant itself will be clearly visible and perceptible to the touch. Filling the breasts with fat adds some volume and hides the implant under the layer of fat for a more natural bust.

Who is this technique for?

First of all, it is recommended for women who lack their own layer of fat on the breasts and few mammary glands responsible for breast volume - this is the notorious "zero" size. You must understand that size zero is an absolutely flat chest, in which only the nipples stand out (depending on the child's physique type).

In the past, many surgeons have refused to perform surgery on girls with zero breast size.

If you simply insert an implant with such physiological characteristics of a woman, after the tissue edema disappears, the implant will become clearly visible, down to the contours. For example, it will be noticeable in the anterior axillary region, and this is not only not aesthetically pleasing, but it also causes physical discomfort to the patient herself. Imagine that you clearly feel a foreign body inside you, it bothers you, both physically and emotionally. However, with the classic augmentation method, nothing else can be done: there is no adipose tissue and the implant is covered only by skin.

How is the operation going?

First, the surgeon removes fat from areas of the body where it is usually abundant; These are fat deposits on the sides, abdomen, thighs, knees, or arms. Next, the surgeon makes an incision in a specific access area, which is negotiated with the patient separately. Access is possible through the contour of the nipple, in the armpit or in the crease under the breast. Then there is a detachment of the tissues of the gland and the pectoral muscle; this is done to form a conditional "pocket" where the implant is placed.

Furthermore, the fat collected during liposuction is separated: it is purified from plasma and other blood derivatives. The cleaned mass is then injected through a special thin needle along the contour of the implant.

Usually one of these manipulations is sufficient to obtain a stable and long-lasting result. In very rare cases, the fat can be removed, in which case a second operation is prescribed.

The main advantage of this method is the beautiful aesthetic effect and the comfort of the patients afterwards. After hybrid correction, breasts look very natural and are difficult to distinguish from natural to the touch.

Recovery period

From the moment of the operation, the first two weeks or a little more takes primary rehabilitation. At this time, the woman will not be able to work, so she will have to take sick leave. As for pain, they are present in the first two or three days after the manipulation, but at the same time they are easily eliminated with anesthetic drugs. After three days, the patient can return home, subject to strict adherence to the surgeon's recommendations.

Two weeks later, an exam and point extraction are scheduled. At this time, in general, the woman gets used to new ways, the initial discomfort passes. You can start playing sports smoothly, taking the load off the shoulder and chest area. Do not lift heavy kettlebells or make sudden movements.

In addition, during the first month, the patient must constantly wear special compression garments; this helps to fix the correct anatomical position of the new breast.

You will be able to admire the final result in about 5-6 months, when the hidden edema disappears and the tissue sensitivity is fully restored.
